The plot was slow moving and thoroughly uninteresting. The
characters were not well developed. Although the author tried to
give us insight into each and every juror's psyche, I couldn't tell
what made them tick. I also found it hard to keep track of these
people: 12 jurors, 3 extras, countless lawyers on each side, and
even more outside parties working undercover for the lawyers.
The best aspect of this novel was the thorough and elaborate
description of the effects of smoking and the tobacco companies
themselves.
The book was a fast read, but certainly not a page-turner.
